Letters Patent No. 91,835, (lated Tu/m: 29, 1869.

IMPROVED WALL OR BRACKET-CASTER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part. ef the same.

To all to whom these presents s'laall come:

Be it known that we, ANDREWJ. FORBES and WILLIAM G. FLETCHER, of Boston, in the county of Suiolk,l and Commonwealth of, Massachusetts, have made an invention of new and useful casters, which we denorninateWVall or Bracket-Casters; and do hereby declare the following to be a full,- clear, and exact description thereof, due reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a plan, and

Figure 2, a vertical section of casters, as embodying `apartment, immediately adjacent to or directly above the table or tables of such an apartment, such disposition of the casters, While permitting of ready access thereto, economizing considerable space now occupied by Vthem upon the table.l

The accompanying Idrawings, which illustrate our invention, show one form of casters, which we have adopted in putting such invention into practice. In such drawings, the casters are shown .at A, as in the form of a shelf, composed of a dat base or back-plate, a, and a curved, or semicircular projecting rim, b, the space intervening between the two being occupied by a series of rings, U G, 85e., for reception ofthe various cruets now generally used in casters.

The casters thus made are to be xed preferably to a backing of wood, previous to their application to the wall of the apartment.

Although the above description and the accompanying drawings embrace an extremely cheap and'simple design, it will be evident that our invention may be produced in various forms and in ornamental designs, ii' desirable, without affecting the characteristic feature of our invention, which, as before premised, consists in the production of casters for dining-purposes, susceptible of attachment to the walls of an,

apartment.

We would.l remark thatV the portion of the casters for containing the cruets may be made to revolve upon the base or bracket which is atlixed to the wall. This, however, would add greatly to the expense of the invention, and detract from one great advantage it possesses, and which is one point of value, that is, its extreme low cost.

Another advantage of the employmentof our invention will be found in the fact, that as -it occupies no valuable space, thecrnets may be increased greatly in size, the importance of which will be readily understood by proprietors, as well as guests of restaurants and similar establishments.

Claim.

Having thus described the purpose of our invention, and one mode of carrying it into effect,

What we believe to be novel and original with onrselves, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is as follows:

We claim, as a new article of manufacture, a castel'- frame for restaurants, 85o., constructed substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
